amp I bought 3 days ago not powering on - electrical engineer advice wanted

I bought a used Musical Fidelity A380 in good condition. Played it every day, worked fine.

Today it did not turn on. There were no sign of failure yesterday. Could it be a fuse or power supply?

Obviously I am not fixing it, not capable of fixing, have no desire to fix it, etc., I am seeing him to let him fix it. If the tech gets upset, that’s good feedback. I am not his shrink but his customer.

Actually... do! That's why you went to him in the first place. Just ask him if he can fix your amp and let him do his job.
